Hi folks,
I've got a question about a guru I encountered the other day when trying
to install something on my harddisk. I'm using an Amiga 500 2,3 mb with
Kick1.3 rev 34.5 and evolution 2.2 80 mb quantum. The machine guru'ed and
gave me a meditation 00000002D.task_address
^ ^
| |
not sure about the number task causing guru was harpoon's "H"
of leading zeros.
I've been programming the Amiga for about 4 years now, but I've never come
across this one.
Any help? Suggestions?

Guru number can come from 'trash' code and user set.... So you cant really tell what they mean when caused by 'unknow' programs.

Pretty much any guru between 00000000 and 0000002F is a standard 68000 exception number. They can be looked up in a 68000 reference. #3 and #4 are very popular. Partial list: 03 = Address Error (doing something on an odd boundary that processor doesn't like) 04 = Illegal Instruction (executing random memory contents or data) 05 = Divide by zero 0A = Line 1010 (executing instruction starting with $A) 0B = Line 1111 (executing instruction starting with $F) [] 2D = TRAP #13 instruction executed (could be caused by executing random memory or data) -- ========================================================================== Carolyn Scheppner -- Tech.
